Guidewire reviews

- Feeling of appreciation for what you do, even as an individual contributor. That means a lot. - Successful company, successful paying customers, stable industry (insurance) with deep pockets. - Honesty and integrity go a long way. There's no lying to customers about what the product does. - Great development teams - Work-life balance. Yes I sound like everyone else writing reviews here, but it really is true. There is just not pressure on me to work all the time. You work hard, but don't feel like you have pressure to be a workaholic or sit in the office all the time or be on email all the time. - Free. Food. Lots. But you may gain weight. They seem to like sharing cakes, donuts and lots of bagels all the time. Plus they have pizza on Fridays for Thirsty Thursday. - Nice scenic views of northern Silicon Valley - First exit off San Mateo bridge (going west). A bit of a relief for the people in the East Bay. - Friendly people - WAH (Work at Home) once per week. Nice policy. Not more, not less. Once per week. This is the 21st century people, thank you Guidewire for not following Yahoo! (!) - People are quiet, don't play political games, are serious about their work, and produce quality results. Substance over style.

Work with lots of smart people on products that are used by people all over the world. Excellent work-life balance within the development organization. People are empowered to make decisions and get work done.
